Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~Taniguchi_2415_229~~Taniguchi 2415 229.jpg\|link=Lucky Star ~~(Anime)~~\|frame\| You made me climb Mt. Fuji for this, [[Rant-Inducing Slight\|AND YOU SAY IT'S TOO WARM FOR YOU?!]]]] Line 11: It's called [[Unstoppable Rage]] for a reason, you know. Things get even worse if they're a [[Technical Pacifist]], and worse still if they're an [[Actual Pacifist]], since outright villains will only ''kill'' you. If a sweet, gentle soul snaps, [[Fate Worse Than Death\|all you can do is pray for a ~~[[A Fate Worse Than Death\|~~quick death]]. This is also why pushing the [[Gentle Giant]] too far is generally a bad idea, and why [[Teach Him Anger\|Teaching Him Anger]] is a ''suicidal'' idea. To an extent [[Truth in Television]] - [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Deferred_gratification~~:Deferred gratification\|deferring gratification]] with regards to expressing one's anger tends to lead to the end result being... [[Curb Stomp Battle\|less than pretty]]. Also, it's generally more frightening when a more mellow person starts acting up because it's so unexpected. See also [[Good Is Not Soft]], when a normally nice character realizes that nice will not get things done in a situation. They can coincide, if the realization and the outrage are triggered at the same time. The results are quite similar if they [[Madden Into Misanthropy]], the difference being the new misanthrope isn't so much a violent dynamo as a care free [[Jerkass]]. This is not to be confused with a character being a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]. While the latter trope's 'nice' image is usually just a facade for their genuinely callous personality, [['''Beware the Nice Ones]]''' involves a genuinely nice character submitting to a rare act of malice. Repeated subjection of a nice character to this trope, though, may result in [[Flanderization\|Flanderizing]] them to such a degree that it's impossible to tell the difference. The polar opposite of [[Is This What Anger Feels Like?]]. Subtropes included [[Let's Get Dangerous]], [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]], [[Minored in Asskicking]], [[The So-Called Coward]], and [[Who's Laughing Now?]]. Compare [[Yandere]], [[Cute and Psycho]], [[Mama Bear]], [[Killer Rabbit]], [[Did You Think I Can't Feel?]] [[~~Action~~Badass Santa]], [[Rage Breaking Point]]. A [[This Means War]] declaration may be delivered as a result of it. For a common aftermath of this trope, see [[Cruel Mercy]]. Compare/contrast [[Knight Templar]]. Compare [[Beware the ~~Quiet Ones\|Beware The~~ Quiet Ones]] if they are known for their silence more than their kindness. Compare [[Beware the Silly Ones]] when they're known for clowning around. Compare [[Silk Hiding Steel]], for when you should beware the ''proper'' ones. {{examples}}▼ * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Anime\|Anime]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Comic Books\|Comic Books]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Fan Works\|Fan Works]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Film\|Film]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Literature\|Literature]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Live Action TV\|Live Action TV]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Music\|Music]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Mythology\|Mythology]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Professional Wrestling\|Professional Wrestling]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Tabletop Games\|Tabletop Games]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Video Games\|Video Games]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Web Comics\|Web Comics]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Web Animation\|Web Animation]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Web Original\|Web Original]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Western Animation\|Western Animation]] * [[Beware the Nice Ones/Real Life\|Real Life]] ▲{{examples on subpages}} {{Featured article}} {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Tropes of Legend~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~More~~Anger ~~Than Meets the Eye~~Tropes]] [[Category:Badass]]▼ [[Category:Characterization Tropes]] [[Category:~~Heel~~Corruption ~~Face Index~~Tropes]] [[Category:Hidden Badass]] [[Category:~~Anger~~More ~~Tropes~~Than Meets the Eye]] [[Category:~~Beware~~Tropes ~~The~~of ~~Nice Ones~~Legend]]▼ [[Category:Truth in Television]] [[Category:You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]] ▲[[Category:Badass]] ▲[[Category:Beware The Nice Ones]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
